Time to detox...

Green tea has been a hype due to its anti-oxidants properties and now most of the pastries have been trending towards the incorporation of matcha powder. Earlier on, I have tried the matcha opera from Mezza9 and Ochacha. I would feel that having ate several various matcha desserts and pastries; the introduction of matcha into cakes generally leads to a denser and moist texture. This was observed very distinctly in Tampopo’s Matcha Chiffon.

This light tingling green sponge is not sweet at all and has a slight bitter taste. However, I simply fall in love with the green tea butter cream; refreshing and strong matcha fragrance. The assembly of the cake is neat with clean edges and the Azuki (red bean) sandwiched in between the matcha sponge provides a different texture which brings out of the matcha fragrance.

Oh, they don’t display many sliced cakes as the colour of green tea changes upon its exposure to light. I presume that is the process of oxidation.
